Old rating - As Eagle Bombardier, A pint from the cask in The Portelet Inn, Jersey. Pours a chestnut colour with a off white head. Aromas & tastes of fruits, toffee, caramel & roasted malt. Medium bitter finish. A classic but somewhat outdated these days, just a passable bitter now

(Keg(!), ABV matches this version, at Pikkulintu, 20210930) The beer poured mahogany coloured and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had strong notes of caramel and toffee and some earthy touches. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were caramel, toffee, earth, malts and unbalanced bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, malty and bitter. A decent malty brew with good looks.

Tight creamy off white head stayed on a tea coloured still body. Smooth on the palate with a dry back. Malt, spice, herbal & vegetal tastes. Poor.
